One or two movements in the Derby betting require to be pointed out. Cobham was in much request; 11 to 1 was taken to two or three hundred pounds, and only 10 to 1 offered at the close. Nonplus had a few friends, some taking 15 and others 16 to 1 ; layers of the first-mentioned odds when the room closed. Nothing done about the Grey, and no distinct offer made against Phcenix. lon remained at the price last quoted from Newmarket.

A new comic opera, by Balfe, was brought out last right, and If not the most elaborate, may certainly be called one of his roost happy and agreeable works. He has styled it an Opera Burfa„ and given all that light and playful grace which characterizes Italian works of the kind. To demand too much originality would scarcely be fair ; the ob.. ject of these compositions is to carry an audience on smoothly and pleasantly during the time of performance, and this was certainly done last night. A little air, beginning with the words " Diadeste, charming play," first sung by Miss Romer and Templeton as a duet, and afterwards forming the finale, will probab'y become as popular as " Vive le Roi," or "The light of other days." The title of the piece is Diadeste, the name of a Venetian game, the humour of which consists in each party offering his adversary some gift, which the other must not accept without uttering the word "dile/este," otherwise he loses his stake, Of course the skill of the combatants is exhibited in their attempts to draw their adversary of their guard, and tempt him with a desirable gift, pretended to forget the contract altogether. This piece of important learning being premised, we may proceed with the plot :—Celina (Miss Romer) and the Countess Amalfi (Miss F. Healy) are blessed, the first with a jealous husband, the latter with a roving betrothed. These gentlemen, whose names are Manfredi (Templeton) and Steno (Phillips) are bosom friends ; but the former is so afraid of the fascinating manners of the latter, that he never introduces him to his wife, nor allows the lady to stir abroad without a veil. Manfredi and Celina agree to play at " diadeste" for a stake of 500 ducats, the li mited time to be one whole day, and they in vain tempt each other with a ring and a bouquet. Soon, however, the jealousy of Manfredi is aroused by hearing that Steno has received an amatory epistle from a veiled incognita, whom he at one suspects to be his own Celina. He is resolved to watch her closely, when he is suddenly called to the Ducal Palace (the scene is in Venice) and is obliged to leave her, upon which• he sends her to his villa. Meanwhile the ladies have hit on a scheme to cure the gentlemen of their re. spective foibles : the Countess meets Steno as the veiled incog nita, and drags him to Manfredi's villa; Celina contrives that hints shall be spread abroad to awaken the jealousy of her husband, who accordingly comes down to his villa in a great fume, while Steno is immured in a pace of concealment. The husband, finding the door locked, angarily demands the key. Celina offers it ; he snatches it from her, and she tells him he has lost the ducats because he did not first cry " diadeste." Steno is then dragged forth, handed over to his proper lady, the scheme is explained, and all sing A chorus with great glee. Among the most striking pieces, we might enumerate a duet by Phil lips and Templeton, " Life is but a summer day ;" a song by Phillips, " In the winter of one's age ;" a quartet by Miss Romer, Miss Healey, Miss Poole, and Seguin, " Come, listen all ;" and the air first men- tioned : but the whole is so very agreeable, that it is impossible arbitra rily to fix a choice. The concerted pieces and choruses are particularly lively and spirited. Universal applause followed the fall of the curtain, but the curtailment of a negro part played by Seguin might be recom. mended ; it occasionally borders on the nonsensical. CO VENT-GARDEN. An amusing little operetta of no great pretensions was brought out last night, called the Outpost. The scene lies in Germany, and the ac. tion takes place during the never-to-be-forgotten and ever-fertile contest between the imperial French army and the Germans. Of course, we have a French soldier in love with the daughter of a German farmer, and all the little pleasing embarrassments between love and duty are called forth. However, though originality was out of the question, sickly sentimentality was avoided, and the Gallic and Teutonic heroes cracked jokes at one another instead of weeping and vowing vengeance, and kept the audience in good humour. Leffler was a German farmer, Miss Shirrefr, his daughter; Wilson, a French sol dier; and Bartley, a bluff old sergeant, who boasted that himself and his comrade were both " sons of guns." The music was of a popular character, and the somewhat elaborate scene very nicely painted and oonstructed. 'D'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY. .

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1838. ABOLITION OF NEGRO APPREN- TICESHIP. Last night a numerous public meeting was held at the Friends' Meeting-house, Red Cross-street, Southwark, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament for the immediate ex tinction of the system of apprenticeship in our colonies in the West Indies. Mr. William Allen, who has distinguished himself for nearly half a century by his efforts in behalf of negro eman cipation, was moved to the chair. There were also present the Rev. Messrs. Burnett, Green, Aldis, Nose, Wycherley ; Messrs. Hagen, Christie, Dunn, Corderoy, Brown, Kitson, Taylor, Cooper, Heath, Storey, Stanbury, and other gentle men, and many ladies. The CHAIRMAN, in a brief address, showed the importance of their object, and impressed the meeting with the necessity of interfering for the immediate and unconditional emancipa tion of the negro, on the grounds of national confidence, of pecuniary right, of political and social justice, and of humanity and religion. _ _ Mr. G REEN moved the first resolution, which pledged the meeting to renewed exertions, notwithstanding the abrupt ter mination of Sir G. Strickland's motion. Mr. DUNN seconded the motion, and referred to the general conduct of the planters of Antigua and Nevis, and the indi vidual example of the Marquis of Sligo, by all of whom their slaves had been emancipated, to illustrate the futility of the apprehension that the negroes were not fit to be entrusted with their liberty ; for the slaves emancipated in the preceding cases had behaved admirably, and the estates of their late pro prietors had not suffered. Mr. Ross proposed an amendment, which should attribute the ill success of the anti-slave agitation to the want of d ue political power in the hands of the people; but not being s e _ corded, it fell to the ground. The Rev. Mr. BURNETT moved the next resolution, which pronounced the claim of the planters to the unrequited labour of the negroes, without their consent, a 3 invalid; and stated that the meeting would not be satisfied with anything less than a measure of immediate, entire, and unconditional emancipation. To show that the public were not altogether so powerless as Mr. Ross supposed, the Rev. Gentleman referred to the suc cessful popu'ar agitation upon the presentquestion. The Abo lition Act was passed in 1833. Notwithstanding the unwilliag ness of the gentleman who said that they had had abundance of documents from the planters and the colonial governors to prove that the apprentice system would work well, the people succeeded in having a Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry appointed; and then, when after a lapse of several Sessions it was seen that the planters, now made strong by our 20,000,0001. under one pretence or another delayed bring ing over evidence from the West Indies, the people again suc cecded in having the Committee dissolved without a report in spite of the opposition of the planters. Then the people pre vented the Government from throwing the whole Administra tion of the act upon the West India governors. Although the Lords, who were a stifF sort of people, and remained in their places merely because they were planted there, passed the Act with the clause respecting the responsibility of the Governors to manage the planters, the Commons th re w it oa t, an d th e n the Lords passed it without that clause. The Lords would make the Governors regulate the colonial workhouses, but the Commons inserted a clause in the Abolition Act which would not allow the planters to make new tread mills, or repair the old ones. The Commons also struck out the claesse which empowered the planters to cut the hair of the femalos off close to the skull, and which the Lords did pass ; and also the clause which would oblige mothers to bind their children for twenty-one years, and which the Lords had also passed, but without which they once more read the Bill. These were proofs of the practical value of agitation upon the House of Commons, and through them upon the Lords. ( Cheerss) But although he ( Mr. Burnett) would take in stalments, nothing less than entire justice to the negro would content him.—( Cheers.) Several other gentlemen then addressed the meeting, and a petition to Parliament was read and adopted. tomed humauity, undertook to defend the poor girl, and soon after the case commenced a Clerk took his seat behind him. _ _ Mr, Cope, the Governor of Ncwgate, said that on Saturday last, Mr. Tinley's clerk visited the prisoner, when he signed a book, and said that he had prepared a brief for Mr. Clarkson to defend the prisoner. The Clerk denied that he said so, but intimated that he had been with Mr. Prendergast's Clerk about the defence. Mr. Cope persisted that he was not mistaken, and said that the Clerk was in Court when the case was called on, but did not answer or show himself till Mr. Clarkson bad tendered his services. COMMON SERGEANT—Has any money been paid? Mr, Cope—l understand 11. 3s. The Clerk admitted the fact, and began to speak of Mr, Prendergast. The COMMON-SERGEANT said the money must be refunded, and he thought that Mr. Tinley and his clerk should not be admitted to the gaol. Mr. CLARKSON addressed the Jury for the prisoner, who returned a verdict of Guilty; but recommended the prisoner to mercy. COMMITTAL OF THE ATTORNEY'S CLERK FOR FELONY. After the verdict had been returned a poor man got into the box and requested to be beard. He said hi 3 name was James Allen, and that he was related to the prisoner by marriage. With a great deal of trouble her friends had raised money for the purpose of employing Counsel, which he had paid to the attorney. _ CommoN SERGEANT (pointing to Mr. Wiggins)—To that person? Witness—Yes. CONISTON SERGEANT-When did you pay him? Witness.— I gave him V. 3s. on Saturday last. CONISTON SERGEANT-Any more? Witness—Yes, I gave him another pound yesterday. COMMON SERGEANT-Oh, oh, that makes the sum of 21. 3s. We have only heard of 1/. 3s. How is that, Mr. Wiggins? —Mr. Wiggins admitted the fact, and began to talk about Mr. Prendergast. COMMON SERGEANT-Sir, you have all along used Mr. Prendergast's name most scandalously. You have no pre tence that you have delivered a brief to that gentleman or anybody else. Mr. Hobler went before the Grand Jury immediately, with Mr. Clarkson, as one of the witnesses, and a bill of indict ment was preferred, charging Wiggins with felony, he having received money for and on account of his master, which he secreted and stule. The Grand Jury shortly after came into Court with a true bill. Mr. Wiggins, who had been in the custody of the Court, was then committed by the COMMON SERGEANT to Newgate for trial. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. These sessions commenced yesterday morning, before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS and a full Bench of Magistrates. The ca lendar is a very light one, there being only twenty-four priso ners for trial. Sarah Anderson, a middle-aged woman, of very decent appearance, was indicted for stealing a quantity of lace, the property of Messrs. Griffiths and Co. The Jury returned a verdict of guilty. ' 26 Thonzas Jones was transported for ten years, for picking a gentleman's pocket of a silk handkerchief. Several petty larceny cases were disposed of, and the Court adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HAT7'ON-GARDEN. Yesterday a lad, sixteen years of age, named Charles Ro berts, was placed at the bar, charged by his father, a poor tradesman, with having robbed him. Bayliss, the officer, knew the parents to be poor but honest and industrious people ; but the prisoner was continually rob bing them. If he was willing to go to sea he (Bayliss) could procure for him a ship. The prisoner expressed his willing ness to accept the offer, and he was discharged. MAR YLEB ONE! Yesterday George Rogers, Eliza Lardner, and Catherine Odder were charged with having so seriously injured a poor woman, named Sarah Rogers, the wife of the male prisoner, that she is not expected to survive. Rogers, who denied pushing her down, was remanded, together with the female Lardner. The other woman, who took no part in the assault, was fined ss. fur being drunk, and discharged. On Saturday night a man went deliberately forward to a shop window in Trongate, and dashed his hand through one of the panes, valued at 51. Just as he was about to repeat the blow, on another pane, he was seized, and sent to the police.ofliqe. He there stated that he was a weaver—that he had lived on very bad terms with his wife— and that he had left his house with the express determination of doing what he had done, in the hope of being sent to Bridewell, and thereby getting quit of his wife, for a time at least. Monday morning he was placed at the bar, before Bailie Small, and being unable to pay the value of the pane, his wish was complied with, and he was sentenced to con. flnement in Bridewell for sixty days.—Scots Times. JEALOUSY.—James Itcdgrave, a tradesman of Sibton, was some months ago so affected by the infidelity of his wife that he went mad, and was confined in the Suffolk Asylum, from which be was discharged as cured six weeks ago. On Saturday he detected his wife in an intrigue with the same man who had raised his former jea lousy, on which the unfortunate husband went into his bedroom and hung himself to the tester, On Monday, at the inquest, the frail wife was called before the jury, and severely reprimanded for her infamous conduct—Scecilk Chronicle. On Saturday last Robert Bateson, one of the stu dents of the East India College, at Haileybury, met with his death un der the following distressing circumstances. It appears from the evi dence taken before the Coroner, Mr. P. Longmore, at an inquest held at the Rye-house, Stanstead, on Monday, the 7th instant, that about three o'clock on the previous Saturday afternoon, the deceased and three other students went into the river Lea, near the Rye-house, to bathe, where the water is about twelve feet deep ; they were all good swimmers, and had been in about ten minutes, when the deceased was missed by his com panions, who thought he was diving, and expected him to come up again. He rose up as if to take breath, but went down again, and his companions still thought that he was diving. Not coming up again, they became much alarmed, and dived after him at the spot where they last saw him ; but the water was so deep they were unable to reach the bottom. They then called the lock-keeper, and a man named Francis, who was near the spot, to their assistance; a drag was soon procured, but the body was not found till nearly four hours afterwards. Mr. Evans, of Hertford, and Mr. Gosse, of Hoddesdon, surgeons, were on the spot to render assistance soon after the deceased was missed, and re mained till the body was found, but from the length of time which had elapsod, all efforts on their part were unavailing. Mr. Evans stated it to be his opinion that deceased had been seized with the cramp, owing to the coldness of the water. Verdict—" Accidentally drowned." Mr. Bateson was a sen of the late Colonel Bateson, of the East India Com pany's service, was about eighteen years of age, and a most promising student. His death is deeply and sincerely regretted by his fellow stu dents and by every member of the College, who testified their respect by following his body to the grave at Amwell Church, on the following Wednesday. The delay in finding the body was occasioned by its hay. ing fallen into a hole between some mounds of earth, and so low as to be out of the reach of the drags. It was eventually discovered close to the spot where it first went down by a man from Ware, an adept at diving ; but even then much delay was occasioned by the peculiar situa tion of the body. A boat, drags, and complete restorative apparatus, as directed to be used by the Royal Humane Society, are kept at the Ryc house by . the College, as this part of the river has been the accustomed bathing resort of the students. We understand Mr. Bateson was a very excellent swimmer, and remarkably fond of bathing.—lter/ford Paper. A PLEASANT CONCEIT I—A gentleman of Mont gomery county having been requested to furnish some statistical matter respecting that intelligent and wealthy county, for the pages of a Monthly Contemporary, in consenting so to do, thus pleasantly alludes to the polilical feeling of that district —" By the way, lest that fact should perchance be omitted, in any future account to be furnished you of our topography, statistics, and characteristic features, you may say that our soil—deep, strong, and productive as well upon the hill tops, as in "the bottoms"—every where over the whole face of the county —is Clay—excellent Clay. Dig into the heart of the land, and first and uppermost, wherever you try it, you will come to that. Still there are other good strata, which, by general consent, if brought to the top, may be worked with advantage and, success, and will without fail prove rich and fertile, bearing fruits to bless the country."—Columbus Journal. SUICIDE.—A distressing suicide took place at 483, Greenwich-street, yesterday, about two o'clock. Au Englishman who had arrived there A few weeks ago, put a period to his existence in the upper story of the house, by blowing out his brains. In commit ting the dreadful act, he stood against the window, through which was found a portion of his brains. It fell on the pavement beneath, where it lay a lamentable spectacle of the wretched man's untimely fate. On Tuesday Mr. Hogg carrier at the Meikle River of Gruinard, Ross-shire, with four men, went out in a small boat to bring in Mr. Young, manager of the Ardross Fishings, and Donald Fraser, fox-hunter, who had gone to the island of Gruinard to look after the sheep of Mr. M`Kenzie of Ardross, and had been stone_ staid in the island for some days. The weather was most inclement, the wind blew a hurricane, and the showers of drift and snow were most cx cessive. The boat had proceeded a short way from the shore when it upset, and the whole crew were precipitated overboard. In a short time the lifeless bodies of the five mon were washed ashore on the beach.—Ayr Observer. LIVING WITIIOTJT FOOD.--A few days ago, when Mr. Dove, Nithsdale, was removing some hay from a shed, he found three hens that had been buried beneath it at the time it was stored. The period that had elapsed, during which they could not have tasted either food or water, was five weeks and one day ! One of the hens was dead, and the other two were reduced t• perfect ske. letons, almost unable to move. With a little careful nursing, how ever, they were brought round, and are now moving about among their companions as well as ever, but they have not )et resumed the laying of eggs.—Ayr Observer. CONIMISSION OF LUNACY.—A Commission of Lunacy was held yesterday morning, at the Gray's Inn Coffee-house, before Commissioners Blunt and 'Murray, for the purpose of determining whether an elderly gentleman named Varloe was of unsound mind. From the evidence addu ce d it appeared that the unfortunate object of the inquiry laboured under the d e l us i on that he had swallowed, amongst other poisonous ingredients, gallons of prussic acid and a ton of lead. He also fancied that he had no bowels, and that he had frequent inter views with Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. Upon a recent occasion he had a delusion that he was possessed of several heath, which grew out o f various parts of his body, and latterly was impressed with the belief that he was dead. The medical witnesses dated his lunacy from the 28th of March, 1837 ; arid a verdict that ke had been of unsound mind f r om that period was returned, SCOTLAND.—During the whole of last week the wind was so variable that it bored, to say the least, every cardinal point of the compass. Sunday and Monday last were equally open to aerial vicissitude. The barometer is fixed at set fair, and yesterday at 5 p.m., a barometer outside a window, where there might have been a little reflection, had mounted to 118 degrees. The pastures are be ginning to afford something like a comfortable bite. The oat brairds around town are promising and healthy. If the present weather hohl, the hedges will be green in leas th an a week, and the woods us full of lesfYness as the birds are of song. After wintry chills so rigorous and long continued, it is delightful to contemplate the probpect of war mth, and few who bear In mind their OVill experience can for a moment doubt that solar heat adds prodigiously to the physical com fort of every living thing.—Dumfries Courirr. On Wednesday, the 18th ultitno, the Stirlingshire yeomanry delivered up their arms to Serjeant-Major Fumes, Falkirk: The Stirlingshire yeomanry cavalry were raised in 1803, so that they have existed for the space of thirty-five years. —Ayr Obscrper. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Mi r 17. GROOM AND ANOTHER V. BRADLEY. This was an action for money had and received, brou!ht by the .assignees of a bankrupt, named Austen, against the Sheriff of Kent, to recover a sum of 114,1. cdd. The baLikrupt had granted to his father-in-law a warrant of attorney, cu•nfessing judgment for an alleged debt of 4001., with a stay o, execution for nineteen days ; at the expiration of that time tiie father entered up judgment, and sued out execution against the goods of Austen, whereupon possession was taken by the Sheriff's officer, and this action was brought to recover the value of the goods taken under that execution, on the ground that at the time that execution was levied upon the premises Austen had committed two acts of bankrutcy. —The Jury found for the plaintiff on both issues.—Damages 1181. 14:. COURT OF Q UEENS BENCH, MAY 1 7. THE DIRECTORS OP THE CHELTENHAM AND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY V. ROBERTS. The defendant was the holder of ten shares in that Company, and this was an action to recover a sum of 53/. 1 G 3. 4d., being the amount of a call of .5/. on each share and interest thereon, from the time when the call was made. The case was proved, and there being no defence offered, the plaintiffs at once ob tained a verdict for the whole sum claimed. SMITII V. CUTTS. This was an action to recover the value of a mare alleged to have been sold by the defendant to the plaintiff. The plaintiff set up a case of warranty, and called witnesses to prove that the mare was unsound, and had consequently been resold at auction for 2L 55., the plaintiff himself having pre viously purchased her of the defendant for Si. 10s. The de fence was that, in truth, the mare was the property of a man named Barker, and not of the defendant, who had merely acted as Barker's agent, chiefly with the view of preventing. the worthy helpmate of Barker from getting hold of the pur chase-money. On the cross-examination of this woman she said that her husband had died in the hospital. That she went to fetch his body, but took "a prop of comfort" on the road, and fell down drunk, and cut her head, and was taken to the hospital, where she remained for more than a fortnight. She took " the drop of comfort" for "joy that he was gone." The laughter occasioned by this odd statement was no t dimi nished when sho quietly added, that: she and her husband " had not lived together very friendly, but they died together very good friends." Some witnesses were called on the part of the defendant to prove that the mare had really been Barker's property, and having satisfied the jury on that point a verdict was given for the defendant. EXCHEQUER COURT, Mar 17. CHANTER V. JOHNSON. This was an action brought by the patentee of Chanter's smoke-consuming furnace, to recover from the defendant, who is a cotton-spinner, near Congerton, the sum of 301., agreed, under a contract, to be paid to the plaintiff for the license of the patent. After some discussion it was agreed that a verdict should b© entered for the plaintiff, with liberty to the defendant to move the Court above to enter a nonsuit.

POST- OFFICE PROSECCTION.--Geo.rge IV Veiling, aged 34, was indicted for stealing, embezzling, and secreting four post letters while in the employ of the Ge acrid Post Office. In this case which was not concluded yesterday when we went to press, th e J ury returne d a ver di ct fin dirig - the prisoner guilty of secreting lettters. NEW CO uR:r.

John Smallman Master 3 is a Clergyman at Greenwich, and within the year the- :prisoner was his ser vant. Witness was Treasurer to the Greenwich Provident Society, and the prisoner was employed by the trustees as a collector. The shilling alluded to was received in 1937, be fore the death of the late King. The CoMsioN SERGEANT said that the 'charge was at an end for the indictment stated the oWence to have been committed in April, in the first year of the reign or Victoria; whereas it was well known that she was not Queen:. :at that time. Mr. CLARKSON would put a question to the Reverend witness, in order to show that the indict meat was bad in an other respect. Mr. Masters said that the Society TOecnne defunct in De cember, 1836. The Learned JUDGE said that it ti vas impossible that the prisoner could be a servant of a Societ y - which did not exist. The Jury, under direction, returned 'a verdict of acquittal. Margaret Edwards, a very well-favou.red girl, aged 17, was indicted for stealing a watch, value dl., the property of Mary Humphreys, a lady living at Edmonton, to whom she was a servant. • The prosecutris, cn the day named in the indictment, went to church, when she left her watch on t he mandepiece, and on her return she beheld the key and ribl. sun hanging out of her bosom, and witness could hardly believe her own eyes.

(From the Glasgow Chronicle.) The cases of whi c h we have heard are numerous and the amount considerable, but as they all have a great similitude to each other, w i shall only enter into th e d eta il s of one of them. A respec t a ble dealer n Berwick, a short time s i nce, rece i ved a business l ik e l e tt e r from Olas . _ gow, requesting info rma ti on as to the price of his goo d s w ith the cas ts and credit prices of the different sorts. Of course the expectation of deing business with a Glasgow house induced a polite and ready rep l y' In answer, the Glasgow house wrote that, as the prices of th e best sort were rather too high, on l y one ton of it won ' ld be required, b u t of the in. ferior, four tons might b e sent, and at the same time the Berwi ck trad e r was told, that as he bad never d one business with h i s new friends 5 . 1 _, Glasgow, a letter of g uaran t ee, signed by a J. P., wou ld be sell! it wished, but, as the tran sac ti on was to be cash on del i ver y of the 11, 7 voice, perhaps he would no t requ i re it. This seems to h av e been the case, for the goods wer e d u l y s hi pped for Port-Dundas an d the voices dispatched per p os t w ith out further inquiry. The B erw ick trade r : after waiting anxiously f or a remittance for his 651. wort h o f goods l b . three days after the m one y s h ou l d have arrived, bethoug ht himself 0 1 starting for Glasgow to see a f ter hi s new connexions. H av ing arriv he applied to Captain Jeffrey, of the Gorbals Police, stated his cas e ., and showed the letters lie had received, dated from the Captain._ side of the water. Th e Captain, with his usual exactness :: all cases, immedi a t e ly set about the business, and traced out the party. The Berwick trader having se en that he was likely to be 3 lose rs , got into high wo r d s w ith hi s new customer and had Win bande d over cv the police. Next morning he accompanied Captain Jeffrey to r° rt. Dundas, to see if the goods were got on board ship b u t found lie w'3. too late; the whole h av i ng b een removed. Following on his informai manestion, the Captain proc ee d e d to t h e Gallowgate where a b ou t a tenth, e_ the goods still remai ne d , th e rest having been sold. lint to manes long story short, nothi ng cou ld be farther made of the affair, a s 1 1 ' could only be made ou t t o b e a debt ; and, as t h e Glasg° trader was unable to p a y, th e ease had to b e Siren 01.
